Synopsis: A Strange Discovery is an 1899 novel by Charles Romyn Dake and is a sequel to Edgar Allan Poe's The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket which was published in 1838. It follows the experiences of the narrator, an Englishman, during his stay in Bellevue, Illinois, and his encounter with Dirk Peters, Pym's sailor companion in Poe's novel. On his deathbed, Peters relates the missing conclusion to Poe's tale. The story is a lost-race novel, with Peters describing a lost land with a civilization descended from shipwrecked Romans that was also supposedly visited by Sir Francis Drake (according to Peters' tale). We have many of the Science Fiction books published by Gregg Press, we will be listing them for sale individually and as sets over the next month (May/June 2012), use the link below to see a list of what is currently available: Gregg Press items for sale Note on Gregg Press printings: Many of the Gregg Press SF books were printed in editions of only 200 to 300 copies. Quite a few of these were sold to libraries, so finding non-exlibrary copies of all the books can be challenging. Some of the books that sold well were reprinted. It is possible to tell on many of those that were reprinted if a book is a first printing or not but not in all cases. Most first printings stated this on the copyright page but according to Hartwell, a few first printings had no statement of first printing and a few reprint runs didn't get the first printing statements removed. Condition: Binding - very good, minor spine lean, top and bottom of spine slightly bumped, slight edgewear and rubbing, page edges a bit soiled and spotted. Dust jacket - none, as issued.
